“No one’s heart is more fake than yours,” Jane said, disgusted. She pushed Tristian’s hand away and turned to leave.


    “I’ll buy you breakfast tomorrow, remember to eat it,” Tristian called after her, making Jane even more repulsed.


    Patrick had just stepped into the office when his secretary rushed up to him with a file in hand, looking flustered.


    “What’s going on?” Patrick frowned. His secretary had been with him for many years and was usually mature and steady. Something big must have happened for her to look like this.


    “Mr. Pansy, several clients just called saying they want to terminate their contracts with us. We’ve been working with them for a long time and losing them will be a huge blow.”


    The secretary handed the file over to Patrick. Those clients were willing to pay high penalties just to terminate their contracts suddenly.


    “What happened?”


    It couldn’t have been sudden; someone must have instigated it.


    “We investigated and found out that those clients all received phone calls from Tristian this morning.”


    Patrick raised an eyebrow at the mention of Tristian’s name. How dared he openlypete with thepany?


    “What did he say?”


    “We’re not sure yet, Mr. Pansy. Do you want me to talk to him about it?”


    The secretary checked Patrick’s schedule for today – everything was nned out perfectly until this incident ruined some of it.


    Every project at Pansy Group was carefully nned out; losing several clients would be devastatingly costly.


    “Let’s go.”


    Patrick spoke calmly but firmly – he wouldn’t let anyone manipte hispany like that.


    The secretary informed those customers who could still be reached while two others didn’t answer or hung up immediately – they were determined not to change their minds.


    Luckily two other customers agreed on meeting at café in front of Pansy Group building.


    “Mr. Swift.”


    As soon as they met each other face-to-face both men smiled politely before shaking hands.


    “Mr. Pansy! It’s good seeing you again.”


    Bryant Swift was a boss with a beer belly, but he was very kind and had more abilities than many others. This was one of the reasons Patrick chose him.


    “Just received a notification from the secretary. I wonder what reasons you have for terminating our contract with thepany?” Patrick got straight to the point. With this situation at hand, he had a lot to deal with.


    “Well…” Bryant hesitated for a moment, a troubled expression on his face. “Yourpany is good, but as businessmen, we naturally prioritize our interests. I believe you would understand, right?”


    “I understand,” Patrick nodded lightly. “In that case, can you tell me what conditions they offered?”


    “I know. The conditions you offered were already very generous. He pursued me for several days before finally deciding to offer double the benefits andpensate me for the breach of contract. Only then did I agree.”


    Double the breach of contractpensation.


    Patrick furrowed his brow, not expecting Tristian to go to such lengths this time. No wonder so many clients were eager to terminate their contracts.


    “Alright, I understand,” Patrick replied calmly. He knew Bryant’s abilities, so he had offered a substantial price. If Tristian was willing to cut his losses andpete with him, Patrick wouldn’t stop him.


    “I’m truly sorry. I had everything prepared, but this sudden turn of events caught me off guard,” Bryant apologized to Patrick, who merely nodded lightly.


    After some simple small talk, they each went their separate ways.


    Patrick went to another client with the same reason as Bryant.


    He furrowed his brow, not expecting Tristian to invest so heavily just topete for client resources.


    “Notify everyone in thepany. We’ll hold an emergency meetingter,” Patrick instructed, his hands in his pockets, ncing at his secretary before heading straight to the office.


    During the meeting, the secretary exined the situation in detail, and everyone fell into contemtion.


    Pansy Group was a top-tier global conglomerate, and this was the first time they had encountered such a situation. Tristian had risen unexpectedly, making this matter quite tricky.


    “Thepany is not to be trifled with. Now we need toe up with a new n to eliminate Tristian’s people.”


    Patrick spoke, his gaze filled with seriousness.


    “Mr. Pansy, this matter is quite difficult. Tristian’spany’s stocks have been rising rapidly these past few days and are about to surpass ours,” one employee said, acknowledging the challenging nature of the situation.


    “That’s precisely why we need to be cautious. We must enhance the confidentiality of our client resources. If there’s a mole within thepany, don’t me me for being ruthless.”


    Patrick’s eyes were sharp, and the employees could only nod in agreement. Tristian had already taken such actions, indicating that he had some backing.


    “Go back tonight ande up with strategies. We’ll discuss them in tomorrow’s meeting.”


    The secretary understood Patrick’s intention and suggested, and then the meeting adjourned.


    Just as Patrick returned to his office, he discovered that thepany’s website was under fierce attack.


    Fortunately, thepany’s firewall was designed by top talents and not easily breached.


    The attackers were clearly targeting Pansy Group.


    “It’s from Tristian’s side,” the secretary just received a notification, which made Patrick even more infuriated.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Now even Tristian dared to bully him directly. It was unforgivable!


    “Defend it, and if they dare to attack again, we won’t back down.”


    The programmers responsible for the firewall nodded in agreement and began a series of operations.


    As expected, the attackersunched a brief assault and then disappeared from the website, as if they had never been there.


    This approach was a provocation to Pansy Group.


    Patrick’s face was filled with frustration as he returned to his office and instructed someone to investigate Tristian’s attacking location.


    In less than an afternoon, Pansy Groupunched a full-scale attack. Suddenly, the territories that belonged to Tristian were all upied by Pansy Group.


    Tristian realized the crisis and immediately dispatched people to handle the situation, aiming to minimize their losses.


    Pansy Group was argepany, and losing a few clients was just a drop in the bucket for them. However, they were not submissive and wouldn’t allow Tristian to have their way with them.


    “We can’t give him a chance to catch his breath.”


    Patrick gave the order, and the programmersunched an even more fierce attack.


    Tristian wanted to y with him, so he shouldn’t me Patrick for not being polite.
